Your Workflows

GenomeQuest workflows package all bioinformatics details -- including the reference data, the queries, the algorithms, the interfacing to third party tools, the compute environment, and the results -- into an easy-to-use upload/compute/discovery loop for the researcher.

Easy to Use Workflows

Workflows are available for digital gene expression, antibody optimization, variant detection, rapid annotation for metagenomics, BLAST search, and patent search. Aggregated reference databases include Transcriptomes, Genomes Transcriptomes, Genomes, Reference Genomes, Genbank, and GQ-PAT which span genes, genomes, proteins, drugs, and patents.

Interactive Discovery

Workflows for ChIP-Seq, Short Read deNovo Assembly, and microRNA are under development and will soon be available.

Examples of workflow uses cases include:

• Starting with billions of Illumina reads of a single human, a researcher can map them to the reference human genome, mine a set of genes for high-quality novel variations, and visualize a select few to determine whether the variation changes the protein product of the gene.
• From millions of Illumina reads from a drug resistant strain of a bacteria, a researcher can map them to the reference bacterial genome and catalog the differences.
• With 80 million SOLiD reads from an experimental time series from Arabidopsis thaliana, a researcher can view the gene expression profiles over the time series.
